16
Group 16 of the periodic table is also called the oxygen group. The first three elements—oxygen (O), sulfur (S), and selenium (Se)—are nonmetals. They are followed by tellurium (Te) (Figure below), a metalloid, and polonium (Po), a metal. All group 16 elements have six valence electrons and are very reactive.
Hope this helps!
